Hi Jhonny, from this link, https://docs.sony.com/release/DCRSX45_handbook.pdf, on page 83, you will get info on the recording time. -Vincent

Well the longest I have recorded without stopping is 5 minutes, but I'm not sure of the time. Check there main website for specs. I love this camera and its worth buying. Make sure you get an external battery.

Bernadine,This camera will last for approximately 4 hours of continuous recording. In "voice activation" mode, it can sit in standby for up to 20 days, during which it could record for up to 4 total hours whenever it detects audio. So for example if it recorded 30 minutes per day, it would last about 8 days. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

It will record continuously, but can also be set to record on motion detection. How long it records depends on available hard drive space and what you're recording. I am recording two DCS-932L cameras at 12-15FPS using high-quality (recently increased from medium) MJPEG 640x480. I have a 1TB external drive and typically get about 8.5 days backlog before it begins to automatically overwrite the oldest recorded video. If you use h.264 encoding it will probably store more video (due to the better compression), and if you record at higher resolutions it will probably not record as much before having to overwrite.

I have mine set to continuous recording and get about 20-25 days. I'm running three cameras.

Hi Kenny, continuous playback is possible but is dependent on the battery life of the camera. -Vincent

It has been awhile since I have used my camcorder but I think it has an internal memory. I only recorded about 10 minutes of content andthen I would upload that to my computer and delete what I recorded. I am not sure how much internal memory it has though.

According to the manual: The maximum continuous recording time is under 20 minutes. The maximum video file size is 1.8GB. When a video recording time is more than 20 minutes or a video file exceeds 1.8GB, a new video file is created automatically.

You can expect somewhere between 2 and 3 months of storage with the four cameras running. After that period of time, it records over the furthest day back so you always have the 2-3 months or so of recordings.

Sony states you should get up to 13 hours of continuous recording. Your media is probably formatted with FAT32, giving you a 4gb file limitation. You should either let the camera format your media before use, or format it on your computer using EXFAT.

If there's a limitation on recording time with this camcorder, I think it would only be limited by the amount of time that can be recorded on the SD card. I let mine run for an hour and a half recently and the only reason it stopped was because I turned it off.

It is much like a kitchen timer. You turn it clockwise and returns counterclockwise. It has markings that indicate 15, 30 and 60 minutes. The camera will also record the ticking sound of the camalapse. I've noticed that it stops before it reaches 0. For silent recordings with phones or point and shoot cameras, or even the GoPro, Camalapse works fine. Personally I'd have preferred a silent and more accurate device. It won't hold a DSLR tho. Hope this helps.

Hi, If the function of the loop Ricording is OFF then it shoots one long scene until the memory card runs out. If the card is small (say 4 G'gh) which is enough for about 36 minutes. The more Memory, this card will record over more time. (Up to 32/64 GHz). Thank you :)

I believe around 72 hours, mine is only put 8gb and it record up to 18 hours but there is a option for loop recording so mine is whenever the video file over 18 hours, it will delete itself and keep recording the new one, hope my answer will help you :)

It lasts longer than any other camera I have ever used. I charge it to the full extent for a couple hours and it will last me for the month on regular use,(I use it a couple times each week). I have charged it and taken it on weekend trips as well where it is in constant use while I am sightseeing,(I won't shut it off for hours,) and when we get home from the trip it still has at LEAST one bar. I've realized I have never even had an occurrence where I had to question whether it was going to die or not. I have not however, used it to record video for long periods of time, so I have no idea on how it lasts for recording. Hope that helps! It lasts longer than any other camera I have ever used.

I haven't timed the duration of the recording, but after an estimated 2 hours ether the battery died or my card was full. I believe I was using a 2, 4 or 8 GB card. I believe it will record continuous if left plugged in.
